A little about our facilitator Nicole Issa:

Nicole Issa’s music gives you the hug you need after a breakup. The essence of a gentle friend that gives you space to mourn and the energy to heal and keep going.

Hailing from Sydney’s South-West, the Indie-pop artist and songwriter is a masterful storyteller through music. With a seamless blend of heartfelt lyrics and captivating melodies, providing a sonic journey through the emotional landscapes of love, heartbreak, and self-discovery. Her new track “Are You Really Worth It”, a collaboration with JËVA is out now and has already received glowing recognition, receiving a play on BBC Radio 1’s ‘Future Pop show’.

Recently Nicole has been making her mark in the song-writing circuit being a part of APRA AMCOS’ SONGHUBS at SOUND WEST (Curated by L-FRESH the LION), Co-Writing Mr Rhodes “Every Part of Me” Which featured on Triple J and and Co-Writing ‘Mess You Made’ by Isadora which made viral waves on TikTok.
